Hello, I've been using Shake for my film. But I've run into snowballing display issues, and now the entire system locks up after starting up. I took it to a mac repair shop that trouble-shooted the issue: a bad video card. Since I need a new card, I'd like to get a faster one (current is at...

Hello, I was wondering if it was possible to do stereo conversion in Shake like you can do it in Nuke, it seems the IDisplace doesn't like to work with a grayscale image, or at least it's not working in the right way. I've also gotten After Effects if this is not doable in Shake. Thanks, Oscar

I'm having problems bringing in some 16bit linear dpx shots into shake running 4.0 (Not connected to a network so trying other things until I can see if 4.1.1 will solve the problem, don't think it will by looking at the documentation) It seems to display as black frames with noise running down...
